Lord of Earth Fiend

Chapter 123
This is not an ordinary scholar, or in other words, he is actually a martial arts master disguised as a scholar.

That level of qi and blood concentration clearly shows the third level of martial arts: "washing the marrow".

Xiaoqian was a little sensitive to this qi and blood, and subconsciously stood beside her young master, only then did she feel safe.

Others have no perception, only feel that the visitor looks good and has an indescribable bearing.

The scholar came under the five pieces of calligraphy and said in his mouth: "Life in the world is suddenly like a traveler. A good sentence reminds me of half my life, and I really feel sad after going through vicissitudes..."

As he spoke, his face was filled with sobs, and tears flowed down his face.

Chen Jin: "..."

Will this play pass?
The problem is, I have never met this person, let alone met him, and invited him to act.

So, what's going on here?

Xiaoqian: "..."

Could it be that this person is a demented man who cries whenever he says he wants to?
Chu Xiucai: "..."

The true feelings are revealed, and this poem must have touched his heart.

Cheng Ming and his party: "..."

Trust, definitely trust, do you really think others are fools, so easy to fool?
I heard the scholar ask: "Shopkeeper, how many pictures are there for this character?"

"One tael, no bargaining, no credit."

"Okay, I bought it all."

He took out a bank note, which was in denomination of five taels.

Xiaoqian was taken aback for a moment, then became happy, quickly took off the calligraphy, packed it, and handed it to the other party.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper, is there a complete poem for this sentence?"

The scholar asked again.

Chen Jin replied vaguely: "You have to ask the author to know."

"Oh, please ask me, if I get the whole poem, I will double the money."

"Ok."

"Thank you, I will buy it next time."

After finishing speaking, the scholar turned and left.

Chen Jin really wanted to shout: Heroes please stop, how much do you want, I will write it now...

Finally held back.

The value of antiques such as calligraphy and paintings often depends on the quantity. If they can be mass-produced, they will be worthless.

Moreover, the other party acted in a strange way, which may not be simple.

Xiaoqian proudly yelled to Cheng Ming and the others: "The calligraphy is sold out, and you have no chance to buy it, so please go out, don't make noise here and affect my family's business."

Cheng Ming had no choice but to take the man away disgruntled.In fact, he liked that painting quite a bit, but he didn't think it was worth a dollar or two. He offered a hundred dollars just to bargain.

After thinking about it, I have written down the poem anyway, and I can just copy a picture when I go back, it will not be worse than the one sold in the store.

A Confucian scholar asked: "Tell me, are they in the same group?"

Another Confucian scholar said with certainty: "It's definitely a gang, just entrusted, this is not a secret in the industry. In order to raise their own value, word sellers often collude with others and act in front of others, which will only increase the laughing stock. "

"Sure enough, fortunately Brother Cheng and Brother Li have sharp eyesight, so they were not fooled."

Everyone talked and went shopping in other shops.

Sanwei Study returned to calm, and when it was time for lunch, Chu Xiucai prepared to go home with the food box as usual.Suddenly a beggar came from outside the door, sat down on the ground, put a big bowl in front of him, held a black wooden stick in one hand, knocked on the bowl with the wooden stick, and sang:
"If you don't give it, I'm not afraid. I will sing it in the summer of May next year. If you don't give it, I won't leave. I will sing it until September [-] next year..."

This beggar is quite tall and tall, with a beard on his face, which looks rough. Although the clothes on his body are covered with patches, they are considered clean, but the left sleeve is empty, and he is actually a one-armed man.

Seeing him blocking the door, Chu Xiucai said dissatisfiedly: "How can you do this? Even if you are begging for food, you shouldn't block the door."

Chen Jin came out to take a look at the sound, and immediately noticed something strange: this one is also a master with strong vigor and blood.

First a scholar, then a beggar, both of them can be called strange people...

If it is said that one may come by accident, there must be something wrong with two.

We must raise our guard.

The beggar looked at Chen Jin and grinned: "Shopkeeper, is there anything to eat? It's best to eat big fish and meat."

Chu Xiucai on the side couldn't help but get angry: what kind of beggar is this?It's too crazy, not only blocking the door to beg for food, but also asking for big fish and meat, who is it?
Chen Jin replied with a smile: "Yes, please come in and eat."

The beggar got up and swaggered in with the bowl.

Chu Xiucai was a little dumbfounded, and didn't understand why Chen Jin would invite him to the table for dinner. This beggar was obviously in the wrong path, could it be that he became a peacemaker?

He went to the street to set up a stall, and he had heard many incidents in the market, among which there were cases of evil beggars running rampant. It was said that beggars were born with supernatural powers, so they hugged a huge stone and blocked the door of the shop. The stone moves away.

Where is this begging?It was clearly extortion and bullying.

Although the one-armed beggar didn't bring a stone, he was sitting at the door, asking for big fish and meat. Such behavior is not good at all.

Chen Jin glanced at him: "Chu Xiucai, are you still going back? The children are going to be hungry."

Chu Xiucai came back to his senses, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, are you alright?"

"Hehe, what can happen? Don't worry."

After Chen Jin finished speaking, he turned around and went back to eat.

Chu Xiucai was worried after all, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to go home with the food box first.

The one-armed beggar went to the table carelessly, and didn't care about it. The black wooden stick in his hand turned into a pair of chopsticks, and then he picked up the meat and ate it, gobbling it like a hungry wolf.

Xiaoqian frowned and hid beside Chen Jin.

Chen Jin sat next to the beggar and took out a gourd: "How can we eat without wine? Come, have a drink."

The beggar looked at him fiercely: "Will you eat and drink with me?"

"Why not?"

"I'm a beggar."

Chen Jin smiled: "But you, a beggar, are neither dirty nor smelly."

The beggar laughed loudly: "It really is a joy."

"Didn't ask?"

"People who are down and out in the world, why ask for their names?"

Chen Jin knew that he was unwilling to say: "That's true, don't ask the source."

"Well said, come on, do it!"

The two exchanged cups, started eating and drinking, and put Xiaoqian aside.It's not that she didn't dare to go to the table, but the portion of this meal was not enough for three people.

Satisfied with wine and food, the beggar got up and said, "Thank you for the hospitality of the store. The love of this meal will definitely be rewarded."

Chen Jin suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute."

"Is there something wrong with the store?"

"Just now I listened to your lyrics, almost meaningless, if you don't mind, I'll write a song for you?"

The beggar was taken aback: "Please give me a word."

Chen Jin came to the counter, spread out the paper, thought for a while, moved his brush like flying, finished writing quickly, dried the ink, and handed it over.

The beggar caught it, praised "good word" first, then looked at the content, and chanted in his mouth: "Hunger comes and drives me away, I don't know why; when I walk to Sri, I knock on the door and speak poorly; the master understands what I want, and don't bequeath it?" False or true? Feeling new and knowing joy, Yan Yong wrote poems. It really is a good poem, thank you very much."

With one fist in the palm of his hand, he walked away.

Xiaoqian couldn't help but ask, "Master, who is he?"

"how could I know?"

"Then you invite him to dinner and drink?"

Chen Jin smiled and said, "Let's make friends..."

Chu Xiucai rushed back, looked around and saw that nothing happened in the store, so he was relieved: "My lord, what about the beggar?"

"After eating, I will leave naturally."

"I don't know if it's because of the temple fair, but a lot of strangers have come to the street recently, we have to be careful."

Chen Jin said "Yes", he had noticed this for a long time.

Chu Xiucai didn't talk too much nonsense and started to do things.

Maybe it's the luck of the times, maybe it's the blessing of the flow of people, or some other reason. All in all, the business of Sanwei Study has improved today. Five pieces of calligraphy were sold in the morning. share.

After experiencing the incident between the scholar and the beggar, Chen Jin was on guard, and made a special observation, and confirmed that the three people who rented the book were normal, they were ordinary scholars.Two of them were known by Chu Xiucai, and after his strong recommendation, he decided to rent them to see them.

Chu Xiucai was obviously relieved after two deals were made.

Every day at lunch, Chu Xiucai saw and remembered Chen Jin and Xiaoqian's care for him, and always thought about what he would do to repay him.In addition to copying books, other tasks in the store, such as cleaning, stacking books, and even greeting customers, etc., will definitely rush to do what can be done. Gradually, I will no longer be a pure copyist, but become a shop assistant up.

Chen Jin jokingly said, "Chu Xiucai, I won't pay more for you doing so many things."

Chu Xiucai quickly waved his hand: "My lord, I am ashamed. Now my family can eat meat every day. For this meal alone, I should do as much work as I should."

Chen Jin didn't care about him anymore. Anyway, Chu Xiucai was tired from writing in the shop anyway, so it's good to get up and do some trivial things.

With him recommending "Boundless Wind and Moon Xiao Xiao Xia", Chen Jin saved time and some embarrassment.

Doing such a thing, Chen Jin always feels like a film seller... Dodging around and not showing up.

However, when Chu Xiucai was soliciting customers, he talked eloquently and deliberately picked some wonderful plot clips as selling points, without any embarrassment.

In contrast, Chen Jin suddenly felt that he was not so modern.

It's no wonder that different times have different norms and restrictions on people. For example, the hook-up places are open aboveboard, and men go there to play openly; or newlyweds, for example, will hold certain paintings for enlightenment. ...

So it's normal to look at Fengyue's pen and ink.

After all, people are too lacking in entertainment and depressed.

After renting out the book, the next step is to wait for word-of-mouth to ferment. Chen Jin is quite confident about this. With the quality of "Boundless Wind and Moon", it is really a blow to dimensionality reduction. It is much better than those rough texts on the market.

What is urgently needed at present is just a publicity channel.

According to Chu Xiucai, after the other party rented the book, he definitely did not read it alone, but showed it to his friends after reading it...

Gradually, a circle of book friends was formed.

So right in the middle.

Chen Jin didn't care about the loss of rent at all, he just hoped that the more people would watch it, the better.

Strictly speaking, this book is just a water test, used to explore the mysteries and measurement standards of "Li Yan Pian", and most importantly, to see what kind of results can be obtained after it is erected.

At that time, you will be able to truly experience the effect of Wenqi Shenyun.

Chen Jin was looking forward to it.

……

Song Jia carried a three-finger-wide fish in his hand, and swayed home.Although he was wearing a long robe, he was not a scholar, he was only a child, and he was stuck in the last courtyard examination. He had been wasted for ten years, and he had passed forty, and his fame was basically hopeless.

Although it is often said that "poor scholar", but the lowest level of fame is also fame, with some privileges, if you can't even pass the exam as a scholar, you can imagine the day.

Because of Zu Yin, Song Jia's life was pretty rough, he had a place to live, he could have a meal of meat occasionally, and he just wandered around when he had nothing to do, looking for people to talk to, another day passed by.

Today, he met Chu Ming, also known as Chu Xiucai.

Chu Ming was lucky to be a scholar, but he heard that life was going to be hard, so he actually copied books in a new bookstore.

Regarding what happened to him, Song Jia took the attitude of watching the excitement, so what do you think of a scholar?Don't you just do this kind of hard work?
Then Chu Ming recommended a book to him called "Boundless Wind and Moon Xiao Xiao Xia", and the author signed it "Xiao Xiao Sheng".

As for the author's name, Song Jia directly ignored it. For those who read this kind of book, who cares who wrote it?It's a pseudonym anyway.

He didn't plan to watch it at first, but the rent is quite cheap, and he can just return it within the specified time limit, which basically doesn't cost much.

Most of all, the title is attractive.The artistic conception of the word "Xiao" was fully revealed, which aroused interest.

In addition, since this is Chu Ming's manuscript, there is no harm in reading it.

Song Jia rented a copy, put it in his pocket, picked up a bargain on the way, bought a fish, and went home.

My mother-in-law is cooking, and people who are in their late forties have worked day and night, and have given birth to two more children.

Give the fish to her, and go back to the house to read a book.

"what?"

When I started watching, I immediately noticed the difference.

Brother Song Jiafei has read several Fengyue works before and after, but the other books are straight to the point and get into the topic right away, no matter what logic is explained, anyway, it is ridiculous.

But this book is obviously not the same thing. It has background, introduction, foreshadowing, characters and stories...

"This is clearly a novel about the love of the world. Could it be that Chu Ming deceived me and sold me as dog meat?"

Song Jia muttered, although he didn't see the meat scene right away, he still watched it.

After the mother-in-law has cooked the meal and filled her stomach, continue to watch.

Before I knew it, it was dark and it was time to light the lamp.

For the first time ever, he lit the lamp, and read it intently under the lamp: "The eyes are like silk, and if you want to refuse to greet, there is a certain charm... This sentence is wonderful!"

"Ah, it's gone? It's broken here, damn it Chu Ming, no wonder the rent is cheap, so I can only see so few things."

Song Jia yelled, as if a cat's paw was scratching in his heart, wishing he could rush to the Sanwei Study and rent the lower part to have a closer look.

"Sir, what's the matter with you?"

The mother-in-law had just washed her body, and when she saw him startled, she hurriedly asked concerned.

Song Jia looked at her, and suddenly thought of the content of the plot just watched, suddenly became excited, opened his mouth and blew out the light...

　Seeing that some readers reported that the writing was very literary, it may be that the grades were too poor, and the author substituted it in as he wrote it, so he couldn't help complaining.But the plot arrangement and direction of this book is really an easy-to-understand cool article!If you like it, please recommend one or two, thank you!
